    wow, if you are doing all that... you will stay busy for awhile! It will be worth it when you get it all put away.

    I went and picked strawberries yesterday. I thought about drying some, but decided to freeze them.

    I have some $3.50 coupons off 2 Splenda ( hubby diabetic ). Walmart has it right now, the big bags, for $5.98. The coupons would bring it down to $4.23 a bag. It's went up alot here. Take advantage of them before they expire as it stays good forever.
    Wish I could find my dehydrator.

    What do you use for a vacuum system and how low do you go?

    I have the Food Saver also. With the price of the bags I only use it for stuff I know will be in the freezer for longer term or longer shelf. Otherwise I use Ziplock

    (My apologies to marlas1too for this slight hijack to you're thread)

    I higly recommend this seller on ebay, we buy from him & have saved tons of money by buying the rolls of bags and then just cutting them to the size we need~~

    eBay My World - elrodharris

    Hth some others as well. If you have any questions please feel free to ask & I'll try my best to answer them.

    Ever so slowly rebuilding my stockpile...
